Rep. Candice Pierucci (R)

HB 363 (Protecting Baby Privacy)

Libertas Institute supports this bill.

This bill ensures parents have the right to opt out of newborn medical testing, and if they do consent, they must have an understanding of how the data will be used, stored, and eventually destroyed

Libertas supports this bill. By preventing medical providers from using and sharing a newborn’s DNA without proper informed parental consent, this bill restores parental choice and privacy.
